November Sun Layout and Blog Candy!!

I've been on a mission lately to get some pages DONE in my scrapbooks. I use this layout quite a bit when trying to get a lot of photos on one page. These colors make me so happy!

Ignore the black textured backdrop - that is just my treadmill track (gets more use as a backdrop than as a treadmill lately :). The patterned paper is American Crafts from the Backyard collection. I loved the tiny caterpillars in the top print, so I created my own to match. I couldn't believe that in all of my die cut inventory I did not have a catrerpillar!! I used a circle punch and the Cricut Storefront catridge (for the antenae which is on the bughead cut) to make the caterpillar. Here is a closeup:

The sun is from Cricut Doodlecharms. I used my new Peachy Keen face stamps on both the sun and the caterpillar and embossed them with American Crafts Zing embossing powder (my new addiction). I won these stamps on the Peachy Keen Facebook page - thanks Peachy Keen!!

The pink title tab is the new Tim Holtz On The Edge die (love it!). November is from the 2008 Quickutz Calendar set and Sun is Sizzix Groovy Girl font (which I covered with Diamond stickles). Finally, the scallop trim is a Quickutz Border die.

I've had such a great crafty week, so I decided to add some......

Very cute blog. I signed up to be a follower. I love the way you used so many pictures on this layout. I will have to try this as I get camera happy when the grandbabies are around and have more pictures than I'll every be able to scrap. Sharon

Great layout! I like how you used several different cartridges on the layout. I tend to stick to just 1 cartridge per layout, but I wish I could vary it up like you did! Also, LOVE "Shop till you drop"! Awesome!

I'd love the Mom's Day cart! How nice of you to offer it up:-) I'm MissPiggy on the Cricut MB!

I just found your blog from the Cricut message boards. You have some very cute stuff on here! I really like your Easter card designs. I would love the Mother's Day Cart; thanks so much for the giveaway!
